NOZZLE FOR BAGS OR POUCHES.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 430,746, dated J une 24, 1890.

Application filed March 19, 1890.

T0 @ZZ whom t may concern:

Be it known that I, CHARLES D. OATMAN, of Brooklyn, county of Kings, State of New York, a citizen of the United States, have invented an Improved Nozzle for Bags and Pouches, of which the following is a full, clear,

and exact description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification.

My invention relates to a nozzle for bags and pouches; and my invention consists in a tube or nozzle adapted to be closed or filled by a stopper or cork, and an annular flange on said tube adapted to be secured to the inside of the bag end, while the neck of the bag is gathered up and secured to and about the tube or nozzle beyond said flange.

Figure l is a view in perspective of a bag or pouch to which my improved nozzle is applied. Figs. 2 and 3 are respectively a side elevation and a plan of a nozzle containing my invention.

A is my improved nozzle, fabricated from thin metal or stiff paper or card-board, and composed of the tube d and the annular flange a at the lower end of the tube. The flange is preferably dishing or downwardlyinclined from its junction with the tube to its rim, and it is adapted to be attached to the material of a bag or pouch at the inner side of an end thereof. This may be accomplished by cutting the tongues a2 from the flange-body and bending them upwardly at an angle thereto, so that they may be passed through the cloth or other material of the pouch end and turned down upon the outer surface of the bag, as shown in Fig. I. Any other known and equivalent means may be employed in place of the tongues CL2 for attaching` the flange to the bag end on the interior thereof.

I find it desirable to form an annular or equivalent projection@3 on the exterior surface of the tube Ct immediately above its juncture with the flange @Gas shown,so that when the mouth of the bag is drawn up to the tubeas, for example, by an ordinary drawingspring (indicated at calf-the gathered folds and string may lie below the projection and between it and the flange, thereby serving to assist in preventing the escape of the nozzle from its seat in the bag end.

It is to be understood that when the nozzle is placed in the mouth of the bag and the Serial No. 344,494. (No model.)

material ofy the bag at the mouth thereof is drawn up to the tube above the flange, as set forth, the flange is then secured to the bagwall around the tube, as by the tongues a2, in the manner specified. The nozzle A thus Y fixed in a bag B is adapted to be closed by a cork or stopper C.

The described nozzle is specially adapted for use in connection with bags or pouches for holding' tobacco or similar material, and it is intended to be placed in the bags when they are originally packed at the factory, and to thereafter serve to discharge the contents of the bag as the same may be required for use.

In discharging the contents of the bag the flange not only serves to hold the nozzle in place in the bag end as the bag is gradually emptied, and consequently more or less col lapses, but also to guide the contents to the tube d, so that said contents may be readily discharged through the same.

What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

l. A nozzle for collapsible bags or pouches, consisting of a tube a, adapted to be closed by a stopper, and having a flange a at its lower end,provided with the flexible tongues 0.2 on its upper face for securing the saine to the bag, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

2. Anozzle for collapsible bags or pouches, consisting of a tube a., having an annular flange a at its lower end, provided with the flexible tongues a2 on its upper face for secu ring the same to the bag, and havinga peripheral projection a3 `above the joint thereof with the flange, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

3. In a bag or pouch, the combination therewith of a tube mreaching through its mouth, a flange on said tube having the tongues a2 passing through and turned down upon the bag-wall around the moutlnand a peripheral projection a3 on the tube,between which and said flange the bag-mouth is in contact with said tube, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
